People used to say OG stood for ocean grown and that there may be some salinity tolerance in the genetics, but it could be apocryphal.

When I moved to the valley, I pretty much came to understand it was what the kids in the shops would call their cannabis when they wanted top dollar for it, but could not speak of it's genetics.
It's now an old favorite for me.

so the real story is this

Once the kush clone (now known as OG) got.loose and spread from the original crew. The original crew started putting OG on their kush pounds aka OG kush aka this is the kush clone grown by the original guys. If it doesn't make sense to you I guess you would have had to live in LA in the 90s. I've posted about this exact topic on here multiple times. I'm sure you can go through my posts and dig up more detailed info

Yeah I'm gonna be starting a thread explaining what's known up until this point and time. Well what's widely and perhaps not so widely known. It's getting tiring saying it over and over trying to stop the whole "John from grass valley..." Bullshit. wouldn't do it for any other plant though. The kush saga deserves its place in history.

The kush saga was over by 06 and was well documented on OverGrow.com... anything since then is a shit sequel for people who dont remember it or werent there.

The OG'ers kush already has a place in history, they just deleted most of it.

You understand there is an entire universe out there that has nothing to do with overgrow, right?

The only fairly consistent thing I can pull from it all is OriGinal.

It sounds like part of a selection process to me.

Just had a poke about. Koh Gaw Kush is in Afghanistan. Though calling it such may be incorrect.

It's the one everyone likes. That much is certain.

At this point? Anything you want it to. The history of OG Kush, let alone the meaning of the name, is so muddied at this point that it might be unverifiable. Many claim to have the real story but making up a story is pretty easy.

More to the point: does it matter?
